REVIEW SHEET FOR ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY FINAL EXAM 2010-2011

All answers must be in your handwriting. All answers should be in the appropriate box in the column next to the question. Answers must be in BOLD.


  1. What can cells in your body do?
  2. cell division?
  3. pass DNA to other cells?
  4. Use energy?
reproduce asexually
split in two and makes daughter cell
daughter cells have the same DNA that is passed on
yes, to divide
2. two function of cell membrane
moves substances in and out of cell (filters)
support for cell
3. two differences between plant and animal cells
chloroplast , cell wall
4. What does salting meat do? What process is this?
it preserves the meat, shrinks the cells (plasmolysis)
5. Describe homeostasis and give 1 example.
Stable, Equilibrium, hot = sweat, cold=shiver
6. How is homeostasis controlled in a classroom?
(temp, light, number of students, noise)

7. In a food chain, what happens if plants are removed? Insects removed? Birds removed?
Plantsàinsectsàbirds
if plants are removed, insects have less food making less of them for the birds to eat so eventually they will all die out

10. What causes the flu, herpes, poxes, AIDS?
virus
11. How does the earth show homeostasis? (think oil spill)
oil spills contaminate ocean, so micro-organisms degrade oil spill by eating up the oil (and reduce harm inflicted on shoreline ecosystem)

movement of water through a membrane
15. Example of osmosis
putting a cell in water or a cell in salt water
16. Which way do diffusion and osmosis always flow
they flow from greater concentration to lesser concentration in order to reach the equilibrium.
17. Why do osmosis and diffusion occur?
molecules are always moving.
18. We put food coloring in a beaker of water. What happens?

55. If a disease is sex-linked explain who gets it more often and why?
Males get it more often because females have sets of X chromosomes (XX) and one of the X chromosomes can hide the other. Males (XY) have a higher chance because they don't have that second X to help hide the disease.
